While we like the Longhorns’ chances of keeping it close at home against Alabama, this is a different story in the Red River Showdown, which has gone Oklahoma’s way four straight times and 10 of the last 13 seasons. It’s a mammoth task winning in The Swamp, but Kentucky is the better team on paper and deserves more respect here. His team is all grown up now, beating the Gators a year ago and entering this year ranked in the preseason top 25 for the first time since 1978. Kentucky hasn’t beaten Florida in consecutive seasons since 1977, when Wildcats coach Mark Stoops was just 10 years old. A cursory look at least year’s records suggest a blowout here, but Texas lost five games by one score and boast elite offensive talent with former top QB prospect Quinn Ewers and Heisman dark-horse back Bijan Robinson. This line was Alabama -14.5 just a few months ago, but bettors have piled onto the favored Crimson Tide in a rare road test against an elite non-conference opponent.
